http://www.saynotoviolence.org/ has been launched to actively encourage people around the world to speak out and say NO to violence by signing a 'virtual petition'.
While the idea of an online petition is not a new one, it is a step in the right direction in terms of getting people to actually do something - be it a simple gesture of putting their name to something - to show that they will no longer tolerate violence.
It will be interesting to see what UNIFEM does with the petition once a significant number of names have been raised; will they just let it go stagnant or will they use the millions of names of support in a postitive way e.g. another campaign which holds up a mirror to the public and encourages them to question their attitudes
